Henry Qin

Who am I, and why am I running?

Hey everyone, I’m Henry, and I’m running to be your next Head of Sell-Side at Finsoc. Like many of you, I’m currently navigating the sell-side journey. I understand how competitive and unclear this path can be—and that's exactly why I want to step up to help others who share this ambition.

What I'll do if elected:

1. Real Career Support:

a. Launch tailored Sell-Side Prep Workshops, focusing on technical interviews, valuation fundamentals, financial modelling, and effective networking.

b. Produce a straightforward, practical Finsoc Sell-Side Handbook, making recruitment more transparent and manageable.

2. Industry Connections that Count:

a. Strengthen and expand relationships with banks and trading firms to secure more exclusive networking events/workshops specifically for Finsoc members.

b. Set up a genuine mentorship programme with alumni and professionals actively working in sell-side roles.

3. Hands-On Learning Experiences:

a. Run engaging, practical mock investment banking and trading simulations. No more theory-only sessions—we’ll experience what it's actually like on a trading floor or an M&A pitch room.

4. Dedicated Spring Week Accelerator:

a. Create an organised Spring Week Accelerator, helping you land those critical early-stage experiences.

Why choose me?

Real Passion: I've personally navigated the investment banking recruitment journey—I get the stress, the competition, and what actually works.

Always Here To Help: I care about supporting members and am always ready to listen and act on your feedback, ensuring Finsoc helps you achieve your goals—not just ticking boxes.
